The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 324
There was an endless stream of soldiers and horses, first the spear and shield soldiers, and then the carts were carried off the ship.

The shields of the gunmen were all placed in the car.

Their backpacks include a change of clothes, quilts and other supplies. Only these backpacks and supplies have been made by Lushun mobilizing tens of thousands of women in recent months.

This time Ding Yi sent more than 7000 infantry, more than 2000 sailors, and [-] cavalry, including [-] musketeers and [-] spear shield soldiers.

Each of the blunderbuss soldiers wears armor, a total of [-] iron armors, [-] rods of Lumi blunderbuss, and two sticks in each hand.

After the gun shields were gone, all the carts were taken down, there were almost seventy carts.

Then the gunmen disembarked, and groups of gunmen walked down neatly.

Except that the navy did not disembark, it took more than an hour for more than 7000 infantrymen to complete the journey, and a large number of vehicles and supplies were moved in the middle, including tents, gunpowder, ammunition, etc.

The next thing to disembark was the 12-pounder field gun, this time with seventy guns, which would be carried by seventy carts.

When these cannons were brought down one by one, Matsuga and Tagawa were stunned, and the two old faces were extremely shocked. It is estimated that they have never seen such beautiful and delicate artillery in Japan.

Then again cavalry and horses.

It took nearly three hours for Ding Yi's soldiers and horses to unload the equipment, and everyone couldn't help but watched for three hours at the scene.

During this period, other Japanese were watching Ding Yi's soldiers and horses.

Songpu and Tianchuan watched while chatting with Ding Yi.

"Ding Jun is in the Ming Dynasty, how many soldiers like this do you have?" Song Pu asked in a deep voice.

"Not much, just over [-]." Ding Yi said lightly.

Matsupo and Tagawa secretly gasped.

Here in Japan, a Tibetan lord or a daimyo who has thousands of subordinates is considered powerful, and some have only a few hundred.

A battle involving more than [-] people is considered a relatively large battle.

As expected, the Ming Kingdom is vast and abundant, and it is a country of superiority. The two were shocked, and asked again: "Are all the soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom so elite?"

"I don't think Zheng Zhilong's subordinates are so neat?" He looked at Zheng Zhilong's subordinates as if they were gangsters, with such strong discipline.

Hearing this, Zhao Dashan laughed and said, "The entire Ming dynasty is trash, only our lord's troops are elite."

The Japanese at the scene were shocked, and Songpu and Tianchuan didn't expect Zhao Dashan to say such a thing.

Ding Yi glared at Zhao Dashan in dissatisfaction. Zhao Dashan seemed to know that he had made a mistake, so he smiled awkwardly, and quickly took two steps back, not daring to hum.

Matsupo and Tagawa believed that they were both generals of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Zhilong's subordinates were similar to Japanese samurai, with no discipline.

The two looked at each other in unison, feeling that they had made the most correct decision back then.

Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are stronger than Zheng Zhilong's, and he is his son-in-law. Now in Japan, he can finally show his glory.

That night, Songpu hosted a banquet in honor of the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty.

After the banquet, Ding Yi took Ruan Siqing and Zhao Dashan to discuss secretly with Songpu, Tianchuan and others.

Although the two sides are Weng's son-in-law, when the two countries are at war, it is better to put some words on the table first.

At eight o'clock that night, everyone was sitting in the room, and everyone was silent, thinking about their own ideas.

Ding Yi closed his eyes slightly, thinking about something in his mind.

The reason why he wants to send troops to Japan this time is firstly for his own financial resources, and secondly because there is Songpu here, he can only count as half of the guest army, all the food and grass are provided by Songpu, this is the confidence he dared to come to Japan .

If there is no support from Songpu, you will not be able to let him come here with [-] soldiers. Food and grass are the problem first. As long as Japan is strong and clear, he will not last long.

Songpu was also thinking about it.

Because the Tokugawa shogunate took a fancy to Hirado Port and raised taxes, this made him understand his situation. If he could not show his strong strength, his end would be the same as Okubo Changan sooner or later.

Moreover, if the shogunate knew that he had a son-in-law from the Ming Dynasty and was so powerful, even after his death, Songpufan's status would still be as stable as Mount Tai, and he would not be like Okubo Chang'an, who was ransacked by the shogunate as soon as he died.

However, Ding Yi doesn't look like a good person, even if he lures wolves into the house?

Both of them are thinking about how to open their mouths and strive for the greatest benefit.

The other people at the scene were also very understanding, and sat and waited without saying a word.

It's just that Zhao Dashan is very unaccustomed to the Japanese way of sitting, feeling helpless but helpless.

This time he came with Ding Yi, and Ding Yi also had a task for him, asking him to develop Japanese traitors and work carefully in Japan, so even though he was uncomfortable, he could only endure it.

I don't know how long it took, but Ding Yi finally couldn't help it, after thinking about it.

"Father-in-law, let me state my attitude first." Ding Yi spoke slowly with a sincere tone.

Songpu smiled and pricked up his ears, not intending to let go of a word.

"I'm from the Ming Dynasty, and this side is Japan."

"Our two countries, facing each other across the sea and separated by a strip of water, have always been friendly countries. In the history of our country, except for the brutal Yuan Dynasty, no dynasty has ever thought of invading Japan."

"Because firstly, the two countries are far away and separated by the sea, and secondly, there is really no benefit, and the effort and output cannot be directly proportional."

"When the two countries are at war, there needs to be interests and benefits."

"It is better to fight North Korea than to fight Japan."

"So I think, if it wasn't for helping your father-in-law, it would never be possible to send troops to Japan."

Matsuba and Tianchuan showed delighted smiles on their faces, this was the answer he wanted.

The meaning of Ding Yi's first paragraph, briefly, is that I will never come to Japan in the future, and I will never fight Japan. Of course, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

Obviously, both Songpu and Tianchuan believed it.

Because they couldn't think of the benefits of the Ming army's expedition to Japan for thousands of miles?
As Ding Yi said, among the major dynasties in China in history, except for the brutal Yuan Dynasty, no one would come to conquer Japan.

This is the premise of friendly cooperation between the two parties. Songpu will firmly support the idea of ​​aiding Ding Yi after receiving Ding Yi's promise.

If Ding Yi wants to attack and occupy Japan, Songpu will stand on the side of the shogunate without hesitation. This is the honor of the nation and the country, and he has no choice.

With this good beginning, they will believe even more what Ding Yi said later.

"So now that this time is here, my idea is to minimize the impact and avoid large-scale wars."

"Don't kill or injure too many Japanese nationals or samurai, and force the shogunate to the negotiating table on the battlefield."

"This is good for Japan, for my father-in-law, and for me."

Ding Yi said that he is very self-cultivated, of high quality, and sympathetic to the Japanese people.

This is a reasonable and principled general of the Ming army. Songpu and Tianchuan nodded in unison: "That's exactly what we mean."

Why did God let me find such a son-in-law? Ding Yi is so good at talking, and he speaks really nicely.

Songpu was so excited and happy.

But he didn't know that in this world, people who talk nicely often don't do things nicely, and this is especially true for smart people.
